Thomas Corbett. The Deptford arrived at the Downes today, for Sir John Norris and Rear Admiral Martin with 20 sail lying-to under Beachey Head, with a demand for 3 anchors and 4 cables for the Deptford. Via Captain Pratten, Sir John Norris has asked for 50 or 60 anchors stocked and sent on board his ships but there are few men here that can be engaged to stock anchors, as most men are employed in unloading and breaking up ten merchant ships drove on shore.
